Overcoming Challenges of Incorporating Higher Tier Data in Ecological Risk Assessments and Risk Management of Pesticides in the United States: Findings and Recommendations from the 2017 Workshop on Regulation and Innovation in Agriculture
Summary. U.S. pesticide regulation uses tiered testing to assess ecological risk, but lacks clear guidance on incorporating advanced higher-tier studies into risk decisions. A 2019 workshop brought together EPA, USDA, NOAA, universities, and industry to recommend improved communication between registrants and regulators, simpler study designs, transparent risk management criteria, and retrospective analysis of past decisions to strengthen how advanced data informs pesticide approval.
